    Freddy Roach is the most overrated trainer. I swear, other trainers were more deserving.

        I would say Crawford had the best year of any boxer beating Gamboa and Beltran in good fights. I think he deserved fighter of the year.

        And I think Salido-Turdsak was fight of the year.

          Are they just going to blindly hand that award to Roach every year now? The guy could go 0-50 with his fighters and he'll still get Trainer of the Year, SMH.

                    Good list overall.

                    Regarding Roach, he didn't win it in 2013, Robert Garcia did. However, Roach had a strong 2014 with Cotto beating Martinez and Pac beating Bradley/Algieri.
